What's the idea? To encourage secondary school children to exercise more by providing them with an opportunity not normally available.
How does it work? Pupils are offered an opportunity to take part in bi-weekly horse-riding lessons. The weeks in between are spent learning about the essentials of horse management through guest speakers and activities. The lessons form part of the school's drive to provide high-quality after-school hours learning. World-class riders Matt and Marie Ryan help to coach the students.
